This past week, I shared a bunch of vintage Oscar moments over on my <a href="https://www.facebook.com/livinvintage" target="_blank">Facebook page</a>. In preparation for this, I combed the <a href="http://oscars.org/" target="_blank">Academy's archive</a> and came across several wonderful moments captured on film. Here are just a few of many, many gems that can be found on their website.</div>

I don't know about you guys, but I can't wait for the final episodes of Mad Men to start! Not only will it be exciting to see how the series will end, but I am really looking forward to my <a href="http://www.livin-vintage.com/search/label/mad%20men%20podcast" target="_blank">weekly podcasts</a> with Tobi of <a href="http://spacelioncs.com/grandeillusionpodcast/tag/Mad+Men" target="_blank">Space Lion</a>. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Until then, I've been rewatching old episodes and pining over all the fabulous interiors. It's been hard not to take a lot of inspiration from this past season of Mad Men as I decorate my new place. I really adore Megan's place out in California and really just everything about her character this past season. I know there are a lot of Megan haters out there, but you have to admit she looked fierce this season!</div>

If you're like me, then you are always lusting after something in one (or all!) of the Mad Men dwellings. Lucky for you, some of the items used this past season can be hanging in your own home! For the first half of season seven, the designers at Mad Men used several prints from <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/deltanova" target="_blank">Deltanova</a>, an original print shop featuring retro designs. Martin, who runs the shop and designs all the prints, is inspired by retro and space age designs. I love the orange circular print in the top photo and might just have to find a way to work this into my new home.</div>

I'll be keeping an eye out for anymore of Martin's fabulous prints while I'm watching the final episodes! </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
At the start of 2014, I decided it would be a fun experiment to keep a record of all the bakelite I found while I was out treasure hunting. One of the things that can really hinder a bakelite collector is how expensive it can be. And, while this is true for much of what you find for sale online and at antique shows, it is possible to find bakelite out in the wild and thus, at much cheaper prices. The majority of what I came across this year was nothing too fancy, but I did come away with 13 bracelets and 2 pairs of earrings.*</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
2014 was the year of green bakelite, finding five different bracelets in varying shades and sizes. My best finds have to be the purple marbled hoop earrings and the yellow carved painted one - I bought it on a whim that it would actually test positive at home. I'm not too good with the rub and sniff test in stores, so I rely on the weight and feel, along with the clunk test.</div>

I always thought you'd find a lot more bakelite at estate sales than I've found to be true around these parts. I really can't put my finger on why that is. Regardless, some of this year's fancier finds were acquired at estate sales. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
My first rhinestone piece! And by far, the best find - the chunky striped laminated bracelet. This one has already gotten a ton of wear since I found it over the summer. *I also found a pair of carved apple juice earrings at the last sale I went to for 2014, but no photo yet :(</div>

Although this next bracelet was found in an antique mall, which I don't really consider to be the wild (aka thrift stores, estate sales, garage sales, etc) I couldn't do a bakelite round up without including it. I have long sought after a true end of the day bakelite bracelet ever since discovering one while flipping through a bakelite book several years ago. They seem to be some of rarest pieces of bakelite, so you can image my surprise when I spotted this lone bracelet in a case full of nothing but rhinestone jewelry. This might go down as one of my best finds yet!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Happy New Year!! After a rocky 2014, I am determined to fill 2015 with nothing but good, positive things! One goal of mine is to share what's inspiring me every so often. Currently, I've been searching out lot's of home design inspiration. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Towards the end of last year, I moved out of my grandma's house and into a small rental home filled with nothing but white walls -- a change I was actually excited about. I am just now getting settled in and am finally starting to add my decorative touch to the new space.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I have really been enjoying the bright cheery atmosphere the white walls create. And, after living with a lot of dark walls at my last place, it's been a refreshing new start. This move was also an opportunity to purge a lot of possessions, lightening the load and allowing me to change up my design aesthetic.</div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Like many vintage devotees, I have a soft spot for vintage photos. I've always felt that old photos offer a unique window into the past -- a seemingly more realistic one verses the carefully crafted Hollywood films of the time. </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I love that so many of these photos are at awkward, canted angles or capture unexpected moments -- something we are missing out on in the digital age.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I am also fascinated by the way people lived generations before me. How did they keep their kitchen? How did they arrange the furniture in their living room? How did they hang their curtains?</div>

Don't get me wrong, I love my digital camera and the camera on my iPhone. The ability to carry around a small, convenient camera with me nearly at all times is amazing. I get to capture special moments no matter when or where I am. But, sometimes I do miss the excitement of waiting to get my film developed from my camera, not knowing what the result would be. </div>

Recently, <a href="http://www.eshakti.com/" target="_blank">eShakti</a> invited me to pick out a dress to review. It was so much fun looking through all the wonderful <a href="http://www.eshakti.com/Products/dresses" target="_blank">retro style dresses</a> they offer and so many of them I loved, so it was hard to narrow my choice down.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
After much deliberation, I selected this adorable owl dress -- prefect for a Michigan fall.</div>
<br />

What drew me to this dress, other than the ridiculously cute embroidered owl on the skirt, was the classic a line shape. When I'm not wearing actual vintage, I tend to stick with classic silhouettes. And there's pockets too! </div>

The other fabulous service eShakti offers is dress customization, such as hem length, sleeve style, and different necklines on most dresses. I opted for a simple scoop neck and the below knee hem. I will admit, it was a bit scary ordering without seeing the changes on the dress, but I couldn't be happier with the dress. Having a brand new dress is a rarity around these parts, so it was truly a treat to receive this dress!</div>

Two weeks ago Livin' Vintage was featured in <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Opera-MODO/153762681383511" target="_blank">Opera MODO</a>'s Cosi. The local opera group was looking for a few key pieces to finish their look for the performance and I was honored to help them out. </div>

During my move, I discovered lots of things I had completely forgotten about. One of those things happened to be a giant tub full of vintage dresses I had put aside at the chance that they'd one day fit. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
It was like Christmas morning going through all the dresses, many of which are no longer my style and are heading to the shop! However, this 50s black lace wiggle dress is staying with me. It's hard to tell in the photo, but it has a satin ribbon along the under bust that wraps around the back. I love the silhouette that detail creates. I think my search for the perfect LBD has finally ended. </div>

Right after the DIY, I had two back to back shows both in the heart of downtown Detroit. First up was Fashion in Detroit. This was a small event held at Motorcity Casino and featured many indie Detroit based designers, some of which even had their collections featured in a runway show.</div>

It was fun to be apart of one of Detroit's answer to a fall fashion week and be in the presence of other industry professionals. One of the cool things about this event was the free models all vendors had access to. We matched this 60s Saks coat to my model's yellow chandelier earrings.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
The following day, I headed back down to Detroit, this time for Eastern Market's Sunday Street Market. I was lucky and got the spot next to my friend Jen from <a href="http://jenstyle.com/" target="_blank">Jenstyle Chic Vintage</a>. This was also the same weekend as the Goodwill Pop Up I helped to curate. Since it was the last weekend of the season I didn't know what to expect, but there was a good turnout and I hope to be back next year! </div>

A few weeks ago Leilani from <a href="http://www.thriftaholic.com/" target="_blank">Thriftaholic</a> came to Detroit for a visit. It was her first time in the city and it was an absolute pleasure sharing my hometown. We traveled to many of the vintage and antique shops in the area and even had some time to do a little thrifting too.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

My big purchase of the day was this chunky green bakelite bracelet at a thrift shop. We ended the day with a tasty Middle Eastern feast, a local speciality here in Detroit. Hope Motown treated you well, Leilani! :)</div>

I can't believe it's been more than a month since DIY and in that time I have done two more shows and helped costume an opera here in Detroit. Things are finally starting to slow in pace and it's been a welcome break, especially since the holiday season is right around the corner.</div>

Even though my set up this year wasn't exactly what I had hoped for (and looking back on <a href="http://www.livin-vintage.com/2013/09/diy-2013-wrap-up.html" target="_blank">last year</a>, I think I liked that layout much better than what I came up with this time around) DIY was a total blast and my best one yet! </div>

The biggest addition this year was my DIY marque sign. It was actually really easy to make (look for a tutorial soon!) and it gave me the pop I was looking for. I would like to make a few tweaks to the design, but for the most part it was really sturdy -- even with the high winds on the second day.</div>

One of my goals this year was to work on my displays; making them more visually cohesive and also effective in conveying important information, such as sharing my social media handles and advertising my acceptance of credit cards. The mini chalkboard sandwich sign is nothing short of brilliant. It's cute and because it's chalkboard, I can use it for many different purposes for many shows to come. Not a bad $5 investment! </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I made a ton of improvements this year and it really paid off! Here's what I did right this year:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<ul>
<li>my lighted sign -it really made my tent stand out at night</li>
<li>renting a U-Haul cargo van -this meant I only had to make one trip with one car, making set up/break down a lot less stressful. Totally worth the money!!</li>
<li>having a check out station of sorts</li>
<li>displaying more pieces in vignettes and having better display props</li>
</ul>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
With anything, the more you do it, the more you learn. Here's what I need to keep in mind for next year:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<ul>
<li>while the cafe lights were adorable, they weren't functional the way I used them. I need to either get plastic globes or just use something different</li>
<li>every year I get more and more organized and this year was by far the best, but this is something I really want to strive to streamline </li>
<li>as I've mentioned before my layout wasn't perfect and next year I'd like to go back to a similar layout as I had in 2013. Although I had a lot more space for people to move around, I don't feel I used it in the best way</li>
<li>it's time to invest in some sturdy show racks!!</li>
</ul>
<br /><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Looking back on my 2013 post, I am happy to report most of the things I wanted to improve on this year were accomplished and I feel they were a big reason why 2014 was my best show yet! Now onto plotting for next year ;)</div>

Recently, PayPal has made some major announcements. Not only are they headed for a split with eBay, operating in their own right -- more importantly, PayPal has made some adjustments to their policies which will go live on November 18th.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
One of these policy changes is to extend the time period in which buyers can open a claim over an item from 45 days to whopping 180 days -- that's more than a third of the year! In order to combat this, The Vintage Fashion Guild has created <a href="https://www.change.org/p/paypal-we-the-undersigned-hereby-petition-paypal-to-exempt-sales-of-vintage-and-antique-goods-from-the-upcoming-november-18-2014-policy-update" target="_blank">a petition</a> via change.org. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
As companies like eBay and etsy grow, it's important for them to remember how they got there. I love that I live in a world where I can create my own virtual store and offer my vintage findings to women all over the globe. However, not even big box stores offer a 180 return policy. And while I stand behind every vintage garment I sell, I can't be there to make sure every dress gets washed correctly or to sew that button back on that popped off after 50+ years of being in place. Vintage is different and that's what makes it special. </div>

This Sunday, I'll be at the last Sunday Street Market at Eastern Market in Detroit. Not only will LV be setting up shop, clearing out my back stock, can you say cheap vintage? ;) I will also be the curator of the Goodwill Pop Up Shop.</div>

I've had so much fun pulling items for the Goodwill space, including this awesome vintage jacket with "Jackie" embroidered on the front. So if you are in the area, make sure to check out both spaces. The market is open 10 am to 4 pm. Plus! Mention this blog post for 10% off your Livin' Vintage purchase.</div>

Things have been busy behind the scenes here! Right after DIYSF, I had to start prepping for this weekend's shows, so expect to see my wrap up post sometime soon -- complete with my vendor spotlight.</div>
<span style="text-align: justify;"><div>
<span style="text-align: justify;"><br /></span></div>
In the meantime, I'm checking in to share my excitement in being invited to vend at this years Fashion in Detroit event. This Saturday September 27th I'll be at Sound Board in the Motor City Casino from 4pm to 10pm at the Fashion in Detroit's Market Detroit, a pop up shop featuring local fashion designers, retailers, and more. I was so honored to be included and can't wait to participate in the local fashion scene!</span><div>
